I taped the game and will go watch it sometime tomorrow to watch for individual players, so as of right now I don't have much to comment on individuals. However, I have two main comments for the team as a whole:
1) Our team played a very disciplined game. Up until that last last offensive drive they had, the longest play they'd had all night was a 16 yard scramble by their 3rd string QB on our 3rd string defense. For the night, we outgained them 325-172 in total yards, 173-106 in rushing yards, 152-66 in passing yards, and 21-11 in first downs. We didn't allow a single sack the whole night and our defense put up 5. Up until David Anderson's muffed punt, we hadn't turned the ball over either, so our offense took care of the ball, while our defense forced 2 turnovers. We won the time of possession battle 35:55-24:05, and we only committed 5 penalties for 35 yards. I knew our team would be more disciplined this year compared to last year but this game was still surprisingly good in that aspect.
2) Our team looked very decisive, much unlike they ever did last year. The offense looked crisp and looked like they knew what they were wanting to do, and in general they accomplished what they were trying to do quite well. We only had a 3 and out drive 1 time out of 10 on offense, we had two different drives of over 10 plays, each of which ate up over 7 minutes of clock time. Outside of their 1st team's last drive and one long pass completion at the end of the game our defense looked quite good too. They forced a 3 and out on 5 out of 11 possessions, then forced two turnovers within the first 3 plays of their respective drives, and the Chiefs only had one offensive drive over 4 minutes in length. We controlled the temp on both sides of the ball.
I realize this is only the 1st preseason game, but I really like the way the game went and I like many aspects of the way our team played. I think we are definitely on the right track and if we can play like this and keep improving I think we're in for a very entertaining and competitive season. I'll post more on my evaluations of individual players after I get a chance to watch the game tape again.
